Leicester U23s have been a reverse of Liverpool U23s this season. They were good up until February but have now lost 8 of their last 9 in all competitions - including a 6-0 loss to us and a 7-1 loss to Blackburn. Their only none defeat was a draw to Exeter U23s in February.

"Oh, history writer, don't close the pages yet!"

According to a post on Reddit, Camacho made a passive aggressive post on Instagram after yesterday's match, speaking of how he thinks of himself as an attacker and not a right back and how he doesn't understand whose idea it is to make him play at right back. I think that's it for him at Liverpool, probably the reason why he doesn't want to extend his contract, which is a shame, I think he would have made a great one.

To be fair, he is only young and having been coached and well thought of as an attacker, I would imagine it would have been surprising to be asked to play full back. I would think it is usually failed wingers who are converted to regular full back rather than good ones. If he has taken it badly, then you are right, it probably is the end for him here which i agree is a shame.

Camacho is either missing the point or it hasn’t been explained to him.

I’m sure that Klopp and the coaching staff are aware that Camacho is a winger. However, the player should know that in order to aid his development it would be best for him to play in other positions. Even the best wingers have defensive responsibilities- look at the amount of tracking back Salah and Mané do- and Camacho will need to improve the defensive side of his game if he is to crack the first team squad.

On that subject, he has a few pretty decent players in front of him in the queue at the moment; if he hasn’t got the patience to wait and learn, I don’t think Klopp will be too impressed.

I didn't mean to say that Camacho is saying he is unwilling to play anywhere else - as I say I haven't seen the post - but I can imagine a young lad trying to break into the team and maybe getting a bit frustrated that everyone on social media keeps sending him messages about being a RB for us in future and reacting a little to that.

Until I see what he said I'm just guessing but I think it is possible he was aiming that type of comment at the fans, not the club.

Spreading the word of St Igor

I found the Reddit thread but there's no offending Instagram post there now, I'm guessing he deleted it? Hard to say with that in mind what his intention was, but in the end if he's leaving through not signing a new contract the point is pretty moot.

If it comes down to who'll regret Camacho leaving more, the player or the club, I'm pretty sure the answer will be the former.

In the Danger Zone.

I do not know whose idea it is, but I will prove that they are mistaken about my football.
I'm not a right defender, I'm an attacker who scores goals. This is my DNA.
Happy to score 3 goals and help the team in today’s win vs Leicester.

It's Klopp who has decided to pick him as a defender. That's not great.
